Description
The Wireless Gate Sensor (WGS) operates in conjunction with the FlexZone processor to provide
RF-based wireless security protection for gates. The WGS is comprised of two components. The
wireless gate sensor module (GSM) a high-sensitivity accelerometer, is attached to the protected
gate. The GSM analyzes signals picked up from the fence fabric on the gate and will transmit an
alarm when it detects vibration, motion, or positional changes. A wireless gate sensor receiver
(GSR) that is mounted on the FlexZone processor receives the transmission and passes on the
alarm signal to the FlexZone processor. Alarm data communications are via the FlexZone
processor over the Silver Network or by contact closures.
Features • 300 m (984 ft.) (nominal) transmission range with the supplied rubber whip antenna (requires
direct line of sight)
• secure RF transmissions via 128-bit encryption
Note Setup and operation of the WGS requires as a minimum, Network Manager
version 2.18, UCM version 1.35 and FlexZone version 3.0 software.

Installation
The FlexZone Wireless Gate Sensor requires the installation of three devices, a FlexZone
processor, a GSR, and a GSM. In addition, the GSM includes the option of connecting an auxiliary
security device like a magnetic contact as an aid for supervision and alarm reporting. The
FlexZone processor serves as the WGS base station. The FlexZone Product Guide (G6DA0102)
includes the installation details for the FlexZone processor.
Installation overview
1. Install the GSR on the FlexZone processor.
2. Install the whip antenna on the FlexZone processor.
3. Install the FlexZone processor.
4. Install the gate sensor module. (If a gate contact is being used in conjunction with the GSM,
install and connect the gate contact.)
Mounting the gate sensor receiver
The GSR mounts onto the expansion header (T2) on the FlexZone processor, either by piggy-
backing onto the network interface card (NIC) or directly onto the header if the processor does not
include an NIC. The FlexZone processor powers and communicates with the receiver through the
expansion header. Figure 2 illustrates the LED indicators and the antenna connection for the GSR.

Installing the receiver on the FlexZone processor
1. Remove and retain the mounting hardware from the 2 standoffs on the FlexZone processor
(flat washer, lock washer, machine screw).
2. Align the 20-pin header on the bottom of the receiver with the expansion header on the
FlexZone processor and align the 2 mounting holes on the receiver with the 2 standoffs.
Carefully, insert the receiver into the expansion header. Use the retained mounting hardware
to secure the receiver to the FlexZone processor.
3. Connect the antenna to the receiver (see Figure 2).
Installing the receiver on an NIC
1. Remove and retain the mounting hardware securing the NIC to the processor (flat washer,
lock washer, machine screw).
2. Secure the NIC to the FlexZone processor with the 2 supplied standoffs.
3. Align the 20-pin header on the bottom of the receiver with the expansion header on the NIC
and align the 2 mounting holes on the receiver with the 2 standoffs on the NIC. Carefully, insert
the receiver into the expansion header. Use the retained mounting hardware to secure the
receiver to the NIC.
4. Connect the antenna to the receiver (see Figure 2).

Antenna mounting
The supplied whip antenna is sensitive in the 360º horizontal plane, but has low sensitivity above
and below the antenna. The recommended installation location is centered on the FlexZone
processor enclosure door. The enclosure door provides the largest ground plane, which improves
the antenna’s sensitivity. Enclosure door mounting provides good sensitivity in both directions
down the fence line. Figure 6 is a cross sectional representation of the antenna pattern for the
supplied whip antenna.
It is also possible to mount the rubber whip antenna on the top of the enclosure. However, top
mounting generally results in a reduced maximum range along the fence line due to the smaller
ground plane. However, mounting the antenna on top of the enclosure provides omni-directional
coverage.
1. Locate the center of the selected mounting surface and mark the position of the mounting hole
at that point.
Figure 5 Mounting the receiver on the NIC (steps 3 & 4)
Figure 6 Cross sectional antenna coverage pattern
Note To mount the antenna on the enclosure door or on the top of the enclosure,
drill a 6.3 mm (1/4 in.) hole in the center of the mounting surface.
Note For top enclosure mounting, remove the processor circuit card from the
enclosure before drilling the mounting hole.
Note The rubber whip antenna provides a good seal when the nut is securely
tightened on the inside of the enclosure. However, a thin bead of outdoor
rated silicone can be added around the base of the antenna to provide
additional protection against water ingress.

2. For door mounting, open the enclosure door, lay the processor flat on the open side, and drill
from the outside of the door.
For top mounting, remove the processor circuit card from the enclosure and drill the mounting
hole in the center of the top of the enclosure.
3. Carefully remove all metal shavings from the enclosure.
4. Remove the locking nut from the base of the antenna and pass the wire through the drilled
hole (add a bead of silicone around the base of the antenna if desired).
5. Feed the antenna wire through the locking nut and securely tighten the nut inside the
enclosure.
6. Connect the UFL connector on the antenna wire to T5 on the receiver (see Figure 2).
FlexZone processor
The FlexZone processor must be within 300 m (984 ft.) and have an unobstructed line of sight to
each of its reporting GSMs (up to 4). Figure 7 shows a fence-mounted FlexZone processor with a
rubber whip antenna mounted on the enclosure door.
Mounting the gate sensor module
The GSM is designed to be attached directly to the fence fabric on a gate with UV-resistant
polypropylene cable ties (supplied). For increased security, the GSM can also be attached with
stainless steel cable ties (see Figure 1).
Using an auxiliary security device (gate contact) with the GSM
The GSM includes a cable entry port fitted with a sealed cable gland for connecting a magnetic
contact or other 2 wire security device to the GSM. The status of the auxiliary security device is
reported to the host FlexZone processor by the GSM. The FlexZone processor passes the status
information to the security management system over the Silver Network or via contact closures.
The WGS can be configured to suppress GSM sensor and/or supervision alarms when the
FlexZone Aux input is in alarm (i.e., when the gate is open). A FlexZone splice kit is available for
making the connection between the auxiliary device and the GSM.
Figure 7 Angle-mounted FlexZone processor and gate sensor module
Note When attaching the GSM, ensure that the auxiliary input cable port is
oriented toward the ground.

Note The contact closure input to the GSM MUST be voltage free.
Note The GSM cable gland accepts cables with an OD of 2.9 to 6.4 mm
(0.115 to 0.25 in.).
The auxiliary input connector on the GSM accepts wire sizes between 16
and 26 AWG with a 1/4 in. strip (1.3 mm2to 0.13 mm2with a 6 mm strip).
Note If the supervision resistor is installed inside the SK9 enclosure, the SK9
should be mounted as close to the gate contact as possible.

4. At the mounting location for the GSM, remove 13 cm (5 in.) of the outer jacket.
5. Remove 6 mm (1/4 in.) of insulation from the end of each wire.
6. Remove and retain the 4 screws from the GSM.
7. Remove the compression nut from the cable gland fitting and pass the cable through the nut
and into the enclosure so that the two leads plus 1 cm (0.4 in.) of outer jacket are inside the
GSM.
8. Route the two leads along the inside edge of the GSM. Fold the two leads back so the battery
or solar capacitor holds them toward the side of the enclosure and away from the proximity
sensor (see Figure 8).
9. Connect the two leads to the auxiliary input connector on the GSM.
10. Ensure the wire leads are properly dressed (away from the proximity sensor) and cannot be
pinched by the enclosure cover and reinstall the 4 screws.
Replacing the GSM battery
The GSM will transmit a low battery notification when the battery is down to 10% capacity. The
GSM can usually continue to operate for over a month after the low battery notification. However,
other factors such as temperature also affect the battery life. Senstar recommends that the battery
be replaced within one week of the low battery notification (see Figure 8).
Gate sensor module supervision
There are 3 selectable modes for GSM supervision:
• Mode 1: swinging gates - GSM ignores horizontal motion (front to back) in the Z axis - any
other motion triggers supervision alarm
• Mode 2: vertical pivot lift-gates - GSM ignores rotational motion (up and down) in both the
X & Y axis - any other motion triggers supervision alarm
• Mode 3: sliding gates - any motion triggers supervision alarm
Note Install the SK9 enclosure 15 cm (6 in.) above the cable to provide drip
loops.
Note If there is a chance that the GSM will be relocated to another position on the
gate at a later time, create a service loop with sufficient cable near the
GSM.
CAUTION The GSM requires that all 4 screws (# 6 X 32 X 3/8 in.) be installed and
securely tightened to prevent water ingress into the device. If a screw is
lost, it must be replaced.
CAUTION If the GSM includes an auxiliary device connection, use care when
removing the cover from the GSM to ensure that no pulling force is applied
to the auxiliary input connector (13 cm lead).
Note When used in conjunction with a magnetic contact, each supervision Mode
will ignore all motion when the GSM’s auxiliary input is active (i.e., gate
contact open).

WGS Configuration
The Universal Configuration Module (UCM) is a Windows based software application, which
serves as the calibration, setup and maintenance tool for the FlexZone sensor system and the
Wireless Gate Sensor. The UCM communicates with the FlexZone processor locally through a
USB connection, or remotely via the Silver Network Manager. The UCM communicates with the
WGS through the FlexZone processor. When you start the UCM, a window displays that enables
you to specify the device to which you are connecting.

The following procedures assume that the FlexZone processor, the GSR and the GSM are
installed and operational, and that the FlexZone processor is configured.
• Ensure that the GSM is powered up (i.e., new battery installed, or at least 2 hours of sunlight
exposure for solar powered unit).
• Once the GSM serial number is entered via the UCM and downloaded to the FlexZone
processor, it generally takes about 2 minutes for the GSM/GSR pairing process to complete.
• It is possible that an interference alarm may be generated when reassigning GSM serial
numbers, or when setting up a network. If the interference alarm persists, select a different RF
channel.

Gate sensor module calibration
GSM calibration involves testing the gate to ensure that the detection parameter settings will
detect a valid intrusion (see G6DA0209 FlexZone Detection tests). The recommended method to
simulate a cut intrusion is to strike the fence fabric with the blade of a screwdriver. Hold the
screwdriver a few inches away from the fence and flip your wrist to lightly strike the fence. Practice
this to develop a consistent motion that applies a similar amount of force with each impact. Strike
Note Senstar recommends leaving the target filters and the GSM’s detection
parameters at the default settings for the calibration procedure. Adjust the
Target Filters only if you are experiencing an unacceptable NAR.
Note Before beginning the GSM calibration, perform a shake test to ensure the
gate is secure and has no loose fittings that may cause nuisance alarms
during windy conditions. Grip the fence fabric in the middle of the gate and
apply a pushing /pulling motion with increasing force.

WGS Configuration Rev A

the fence at the same location for each test, waiting at least 2 seconds between impacts. The best
method to simulate a climb intrusion is to actually climb on the fence fabric (you do not have to
climb over the fence). Begin the tests on the protected surface at the farthest point away from the
GSM. The UCM GSM Status window displays information about the gate sensor modules. Use the
UCM Magnitude Response Plot to calibrate and monitor the gate sensor module’s response.

6. Select the Record button and have the tap tester begin the tests at the farthest point on the
gate from the GSM.
7. Continue the tap testing moving closer to the GSM and then away from the GSM on the
opposite side until the gate has been fully tested.
• Each series of 3 taps should cause an alarm.
• The tap tests that are farthest away from the GSM should have the lowest magnitude
response. If tests closer to the GSM have lower magnitudes, inspect the fence for loose
fabric or other issues.
• If any of the test taps do not cause a response above the Event Threshold, repeat the
tests at that location.
• If the repeated tests remain below the Event Threshold, lower the Event Threshold and
repeat the tests.
• If all of the tests are significantly above the Event Threshold, raise the Event Threshold
and repeat the tests.
• Continue this process until each series of 3 taps causes an alarm.
You can adjust the GSM detection parameters to meet your site-specific security requirements.
Once the sensor is setup, calibrated and operational you should monitor the NAR to ensure
optimum settings. Minor adjustments to the Target Filters and the Event Threshold can be used to
prevent nuisance alarms caused by environmental factors and fence condition.
